Louis Mills

Louis Mills (died 21 May 1754) was a British sailor who took part on a mutiny aboard HMS Providence. He was executed for his part by Captain Samuel Smythe.

Biography
Joining the Royal Navy at the age of ten, Mills was a crew member aboard the HMS Windward on its voyage from London to Boston. A level-headed sailor, he was known to have never lead his friends astray. Mills was also a secret member of the Hashshashin Assassins order. In 1752 Louis joined the crew of HMS Providence, a trading vessel, and in 1754 was given the task of capturing Knights Templar Haytham Kenway, who had boarded the ship shortly after assassinating Grand Master Miko Little.

From 16 May 1754 he threw painted barrels over the side of the ship, without being noticed. Kenway still believed him to be a friend, as he had prevented Captain Samuel Smythe's reprimandation of Kenway after a fight with Hector Graves. Louis got his chance to capture Kenway when Assassins ship HMS Aquila attacked Providence in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

Death
When Kenway was sent under the deck and the hatch closed, he found Mills waiting for him. Mills attempted to convince Kenway to go without a fight, telling him that if he surrendered, he would be treated with honor and spared. Kenway responded by telling him that if he wanted to be honored, to be given a sword. Mills drew a blade and fought Kenway in a duel in the middle deck. Kenway fought better, and after deflecting Mills' attack, he ran him through in his neck.
